It's all systems go in the Spiritualized camp, as the band have announced not only details of their new record deal, but also the imminent release of their new album, as well as a brief UK tour to accompany it.

The band have signed to Sanctuary Records, home of Ministry and Oleander. Their new album, titled 'Amazing Grace ®', will be put out on Spiritualized's J Spaceman's own label, Spaceman Records, through Sanctuary on September 8th.

The album will be preceded by a series of three 12" vinyl EPs containing the tracks from the album, each released on August 18th and 25th, and September 1st respectively. Meanwhile the band will tour the UK in September, playing the following dates:
